Deadly Encounters - BPOV

My name is Isabella Marie Swan, but I like to be called Bella. I have just visited my gran at the local hospital for possibly the last time; as doctors told me today that she hasn't got long left. I was never really close to my gran, but ever since my mother and father died of the Spanish influenza in 1918, she's been the only family in my life for the last 10 years. The news of my gran's deteriorating health didn't come as much of a shock to me, however it did make me realise I was the only surviving member of my family. It brought back the feeling of being very alone, and unwanted all them years ago. I began to think; would anyone care, or even notice, if I were to just disappear or die…?

While in a trance-like state over the recent news of my gran, I subconsciously turned into the familiar alley way leading up to my street. In order to get home safely without yet another injury caused by my clumsiness, I needed to fully concentrate on every step I took, especially with it being the middle of the night, and the alley way being in complete darkness. The only source of light available was the dim street light at the very end of the alley way, which was not much use to anyone, especially me. Keeping my eyes trained on the ground, to stop me tripping on my own feet, I didn't realise when a sudden stench filled the air. It smelled familiar but disgusting, it smelt of rust and salt.

When I took another step forward, I noticed my foot creating a ripple effect in what appeared to be a puddle. With this step, the smell became overwhelmingly strong, and I finally recognised why the smell was so familiar. It was blood. Ugh! As soon as I realised this, my stomach churned, the alley way began to spin and I started to feel faint. Knowing what was coming next, I had to hold onto the walls of the alley way, to stop myself from slipping into unwanted unconsciousness.

While trying to prevent the fainting, I began to wonder…why is there so much blood, and where is it coming from? I started to panic, was I in danger?

I could feel my heart rate speed up, and trying to calm myself I started to take deep breaths. Reassuring myself that I was fine, and that I was not in danger, I kept telling myself that Chicago hasn't had a crime committed in years, and I have walked down this alley way hundreds of times, so why would anything happen to me tonight.

My thoughts were interrupted when I heard a quiet sound, which I could have sworn sounded exactly like an animals growl, coming from the end of the alley way I was heading towards. This is not good! I looked up to see if it was just my imagination playing tricks on me, or if there was a source to the growl. What I saw shocked me, and I stumbled backwards from pure fear. At the end of the alley way was a cloaked figure staring at me with his blood red eyes. He was hovering over a dead body, which I assumed he had just killed and dropped at his feet when he noticed me approach, and this was the source of the blood I stepped in just a few seconds ago.

When our eyes met, he stood away from the corpse, and stood facing me in a hunched position looking as if he was about to attack. I have never been so terrified as I am now, the only thing I could think to do was run. This was not such a great idea, being the clumsy person I am, as it could only ever end in injury. As I turned to run, my foot seemed to get caught on nothing, no surprise there. I felt the sudden cold rush of air as I fell to the floor where my head was the first to hit the cobbled ground. The last image I saw, before unconsciousness came, was the approaching figure and his evil blood red eyes. Then I suddenly remembered what I was thinking earlier; would anyone care, or even notice, if I were to just disappear…
